[18:35] Raspberry Patch (raspberrypatch) is offline.
[18:35] Phoenix Fire (phoenix2488): very nice
[18:35] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): i really like the "finger pointing at the moon" saying
[18:35] Raspberry Patch (raspberrypatch) is online.
[18:35] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): It is very soothing to read that
[18:35] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): that almost sums up the whole lesson for me
[18:36] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): I have such trouble with presence
[18:36] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): That is why I like reading prose aloud
[18:36] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): It frees my mind
[18:36] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): and trying too hard, worrying about results, instead of just going
[18:36] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): i've done that lately
[18:36] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): Yes, it does sum it up for me too. I usually try way too hard when I write, then have to pull myself back
[18:37] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): I like being able to get lost in th eflow of thngs when I read them.
[18:38] Spitfire (radarz) is offline.
[18:38] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): I think that is why I like Beagle's writing so much actually, it has a poetry to his prose.
[18:38] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): When you are reading what others have written you do not have to think about the meaning of the words, only the way they should sound
[18:38] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): Yes
[18:38] Roxy-Ann Raven Moon Wilcocks (medusa.zero) is online.
[18:39] Roxy-Ann Raven Moon Wilcocks (medusa.zero) is offline.
[18:40] Roxy-Ann Raven Moon Wilcocks (medusa.zero) is online.
[18:40] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): There is a beauty in phrasing that goes beyond what the word say
[18:40] Roxy-Ann Raven Moon Wilcocks (medusa.zero) is offline.
[18:41] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): I like to find pretty words, like amazing stones, just lying on the gfround.
[18:41] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): yeah.. :D
[18:42] Achiron S. Hinun™ (seyku) is online.
[18:42] Roxy-Ann Raven Moon Wilcocks (medusa.zero) is online.
[18:42] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): teacher, is it only tonight's lesson that instructs us in the way of presence, or is it the goal of each teaching?
[18:43] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): The whole book seems to bring each section back to that
[18:44] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): That shames me. I have a lot of trouble with that
[18:44] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): So... a haiku...
[18:44] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): Is not possible
for narcicistic human
to write good haiku
[18:45] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): they could write about narcisism?
[18:45] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): Lol
[18:45] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): Excellent Petea
[18:45] Silver (kerry.giha): presence is a concept that is making a tech comeback. It has been quite a buzz word. As it means in the tech sense to be put in an environment that seems real enough you forget the illusion.
[18:46] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): That is what speaking words do to me Silver
[18:46] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): It is but words
Sparkling in the soft light
cast by sun and moon
[18:46] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): OMG, that was sensual
[18:47] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): I like saying that one out loud
[18:47] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): I actually have a problem with presence myself. My mind is often far in the future or past. When I can lose myself in writing or in reading though, it is amazing. When I can lose myself in the present moment that is good too. I have to remind myself to experience things fully.
[18:48] FOUR (njmike) is online.
[18:48] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): Perhaps the answer partly lies in reducing the number of things
[18:48] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): I think so
[18:48] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): Things bombard me though
[18:49] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): so the haiku is s upposed to be 5-7-5, or can one line borrow syllables?
[18:49] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): Image on image, then paring them down to one, to showcase it all.
[18:49] Silver (kerry.giha): It is the reason why I liked the hunt soo much. Seems odd, me, I know. Out there the words in my head fully stopped and I was just my Horse and I with a job to do. There was no past or future, only the moment.
[18:50] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): it should be able to borrow a syllable or if it's a word that can be moved put on the next line. Show me what you've got.
[18:51] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): out on the horse back
I thought only of the hunt
And my mind was stilled
[18:51] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): I like that
[18:51] Phoenix Fire (phoenix2488): Passing of the sun. Slipping past a pyre world. The sea set ablaze.
[18:51] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): Oh that's a good one too.
[18:52] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): Wow, yes that was beautiful
[18:52] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): The sea set ablaze alone was worth the ride
[18:53] Phoenix Fire (phoenix2488): thank you
[18:54] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): road ends at the bridge, damp old wood and mossy stone, the river runs softly
[18:54] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): Oh that's beautiful
[18:54] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): about Exmoor
[18:55] Doc (doctor.blauvelt) is online.
[18:55] Phoenix Fire (phoenix2488): love that
[18:55] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): beautiful
[18:55] Silver (kerry.giha): More like, Hounds went Riot. Bold charge of Pursuit. The mud was tasty.
[18:55] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): lol
[18:56] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): in the moment lets see... hmm
[18:56] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): by the sentence end
I hope to have forgotten
Its first beginning
[18:56] Phoenix Fire (phoenix2488): ooo
[18:56] Phoenix Fire (phoenix2488): very nice
[18:57] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): Ok, this one pops into my head: Crisp leaves on fallen
Stone laying all around with
Twigs of amber jet.
[18:57] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): I like yours Morgan. It's very Zen.
[18:57] Phoenix Fire (phoenix2488): That does paint a beautiful picture
[18:57] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): That brings to mind
[18:57] Phoenix Fire (phoenix2488): Love it.
[18:57] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): It is okay to draw our feelings from SL stuff
[18:58] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): Yes.
[18:58] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): I had not thought of that
[18:58] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): Even though Petea did it earlier
[18:58] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): There are so many places in SL meant to mimic nature, and some places it's easy to be immersed enough to fogret for a bit everything else.
[18:59] Phoenix Fire (phoenix2488): this is true
[18:59] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): I need those goggles Nyx keeps talking about
[19:00] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): I've thought about getting those. Silver has them, and another friend of mine has them too. I don't know how well they'd work with my glasses though.
[19:00] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): The orobourus
river running through the land
gives peace to my mind
[19:00] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): I like that one a lot
[19:01] Silver (kerry.giha): Standing Grain Grows. Warm Summer Field. Forever Distant Mountains.
[19:01] Silver (kerry.giha): These are kinda fun, but I have no idea what I am doin :)
[19:01] Kyle Tsuno (1darkone) is offline.
[19:01] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): write about nature, b ut all things are natural, a human or a worm
[19:01] Milo (decitrex) is offline.
[19:02] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): That is the best way! and the worst. first I think learn the form and then with practise all come easy, if not always good
[19:02] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): that was a haiku too :D
[19:02] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): Wow, it was!
[19:02] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): Water slips beneath
The wood gliding below a
Dancing aurora
[19:03] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): I like how that one sets up. It is all smoothness and light
[19:03] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): although what i'm getting is, a haiku is supposed to be about an experience, so I guess a haiku about writing haiku is too abstract
[19:03] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): but it's still an experience
[19:03] Nop (kyomuno.tsuki) is offline.
[19:04] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): a man writes haiku
[19:04] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): I can picture a frazzled Morgan below a tree with a notebook and a few crumpled papers
[19:04] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): woops
[19:04] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): and they're all good but he doesn't think so
[19:04] Silver (kerry.giha): Playing on Roof. One Kitten Fell. Mew too low.
[19:04] Silver (kerry.giha): That is a physics joke.
[19:04] shin00 (kevmacg) is online.
[19:05] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): I know I have missed many sessions, but it seems like ... like dance. you learn the basic steps, practise them, then when you improvise you will not be thinking you are dancing
[19:06] Howlitzer (howlitzer.zebendein) is offline.
[19:06] Howlitzer (howlitzer.zebendein) left chat range.
[19:06] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): *nods* Yes. That's why I like poetry in general
[19:07] Nop (kyomuno.tsuki) is online.
[19:07] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): I tried to divide up the book so that even if someone missed a few sessions they would still be able to jump right in after a reading
[19:07] Roxy-Ann Raven Moon Wilcocks (medusa.zero) is offline.
[19:07] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): There is a type of meter to it, but it is not anything like I am used to
[19:08] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): There's another type of japanese poetry that is similar, but I'm still trying to remember what it was called
[19:08] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): it's been driving me nuts since the first session x.x
[19:08] Zera Stargazer-Soyinka (zerastargazer.starostin) is online.
[19:09] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): he could be eating tacos, instead he writes haiku, where's his taco?
[19:09] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): lol
[19:09] Milo (decitrex) is online.
[19:09] Silver (kerry.giha): I need tacos. Head Will Esplode. That happens Sometimes.
[19:10] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): The taco of dreams
now sits within your belly
savour its goodness
[19:10] Phoenix Fire (phoenix2488): Alien objects. Tearing through the midnight sky. Where light always treads.
[19:11] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): Nice ending on that one
[19:11] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): Tacos are yummy.
Then they attack digestion.
At least it isn't beans.
[19:12] Phoenix Fire (phoenix2488): lol
[19:12] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): Hahaha
[19:12] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): lol
[19:12] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): don't you put beans on a taco?
[19:12] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): I do! Kids don't.
[19:12] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): lol
[19:12] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): I do these days. I do not eat meat as much anymore so beans work well
[19:12] Phoenix Fire (phoenix2488): always good on one
[19:13] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): I prefer the tostada shape though
[19:13] Silver (kerry.giha): I just do burritos mostly anymore. Not to many places have veggie tacos.
[19:13] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): The kids' ex-step-grandma (all these relations..hm...) scrambles tofu with taco seasoning for her tacos
[19:14] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): You can put a big slab of tomato on a tostada shell
[19:14] Silver (kerry.giha): That is a good idea
[19:14] Phoenix Fire (phoenix2488): sounds delicious
[19:14] Pixel Prism (quinnigma) is online.
[19:14] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): Tofu is so versatile
[19:14] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): that does sound good. the cat would steal my tomato though if I'm not careful.
[19:14] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): Your cat???
[19:14] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): yes
[19:14] Phoenix Fire (phoenix2488) whispers: hehe
[19:15] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): That is a weird cat
[19:15] Silver (kerry.giha): It is the tabula rasa of noms
[19:15] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): Lightning has stolen tomatoes, corn, watermelon... he's stolen tomatos from construction workers... talked them OUT of their sandwiches...
[19:15] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): My cat eats only cat food and critters it catches
[19:15] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): It catches a LOT of critters
[19:15] Silver (kerry.giha): I thought he just lets them all go in your house.
[19:16] Phoenix Fire (phoenix2488): well, at least your cat is diverse in his meals
[19:16] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): I put a stop to that
[19:16] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): I removed the cat door
[19:16] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): that fixes it
[19:16] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): your cat goes out to rob from construction workers?
[19:16] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): lol
[19:16] Silver (kerry.giha): Aw. where are you going to get your crows now?
[19:16] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): he kept sneaking out the summer the apartments were getting rennovated
[19:16] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): anti-union cat or something
[19:17] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): Answer me this. Why was the crow crap bright green?
[19:17] Phoenix Fire (phoenix2488): sneaky thing
[19:17] Silver (kerry.giha): Eating lightning bugs
[19:17] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): LOL
[19:18] Silver (kerry.giha): plus birds convert urine all the way to uric acid which makes it much thicker.
[19:18] Silver (kerry.giha): An adaptation for flight so they don't have to carry as much water as mammals
[19:19] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): yeah they only have the one waste exit, right?
[19:19] Silver (kerry.giha): I believe so
[19:19] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): The crow crap went splat
On the hot hooded rig. Great..
Off to the carwash.
[19:19] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): Alimentary my dear watson

[19:21] Phoenix Fire (phoenix2488): so adorable

[18:35] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): It is very soothing to read that
[18:35] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): that almost sums up the whole lesson for me
[18:36] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): I have such trouble with presence
[18:36] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): That is why I like reading prose aloud
[18:36] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): It frees my mind
[18:36] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): and trying too hard, worrying about results, instead of just going
[18:36] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): i've done that lately
[18:36] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): Yes, it does sum it up for me too. I usually try way too hard when I write, then have to pull myself back
[18:37] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): I like being able to get lost in th eflow of thngs when I read them.

[18:42] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): teacher, is it only tonight's lesson that instructs us in the way of presence, or is it the goal of each teaching?
[18:43] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): The whole book seems to bring each section back to that
[18:44] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): That shames me. I have a lot of trouble with that
[18:44] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): So... a haiku...
[18:44] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): Is not possible
for narcicistic human
to write good haiku
[18:45] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): they could write about narcisism?
[18:45] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): Lol
[18:45] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): Excellent Petea
[18:45] Silver (kerry.giha): presence is a concept that is making a tech comeback. It has been quite a buzz word. As it means in the tech sense to be put in an environment that seems real enough you forget the illusion.
[18:46] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): That is what speaking words do to me Silver
[18:46] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): It is but words
Sparkling in the soft light
cast by sun and moon
[18:46] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): OMG, that was sensual
[18:47] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): I like saying that one out loud
[18:47] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): I actually have a problem with presence myself. My mind is often far in the future or past. When I can lose myself in writing or in reading though, it is amazing. When I can lose myself in the present moment that is good too. I have to remind myself to experience things fully.
[18:48] FOUR (njmike) is online.
[18:48] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): Perhaps the answer partly lies in reducing the number of things
[18:48] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): I think so
[18:48] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): Things bombard me though
[18:49] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): so the haiku is s upposed to be 5-7-5, or can one line borrow syllables?
[18:49] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): Image on image, then paring them down to one, to showcase it all.
[18:49] Silver (kerry.giha): It is the reason why I liked the hunt soo much. Seems odd, me, I know. Out there the words in my head fully stopped and I was just my Horse and I with a job to do. There was no past or future, only the moment.
[18:50] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): it should be able to borrow a syllable or if it's a word that can be moved put on the next line. Show me what you've got.
[18:51] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): out on the horse back
I thought only of the hunt
And my mind was stilled
[18:51] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): I like that
[18:51] Phoenix Fire (phoenix2488): Passing of the sun. Slipping past a pyre world. The sea set ablaze.
[18:51] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): Oh that's a good one too.
[18:52] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): Wow, yes that was beautiful
[18:52] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): The sea set ablaze alone was worth the ride
[18:53] Phoenix Fire (phoenix2488): thank you
[18:54] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): road ends at the bridge, damp old wood and mossy stone, the river runs softly
[18:54] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): Oh that's beautiful
[18:54] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): about Exmoor

[18:55] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): lol
[18:56] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): in the moment lets see... hmm
[18:56] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): by the sentence end
I hope to have forgotten
Its first beginning
[18:56] Phoenix Fire (phoenix2488): ooo
[18:56] Phoenix Fire (phoenix2488): very nice
[18:57] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): Ok, this one pops into my head: Crisp leaves on fallen
Stone laying all around with
Twigs of amber jet.
[18:57] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): I like yours Morgan. It's very Zen.
[18:57] Phoenix Fire (phoenix2488): That does paint a beautiful picture
[18:57] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): That brings to mind
[18:57] Phoenix Fire (phoenix2488): Love it.
[18:57] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): It is okay to draw our feelings from SL stuff
[18:58] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): Yes.
[18:58] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): I had not thought of that
[18:58] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): Even though Petea did it earlier
[18:58] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): There are so many places in SL meant to mimic nature, and some places it's easy to be immersed enough to fogret for a bit everything else.
[18:59] Phoenix Fire (phoenix2488): this is true
[18:59] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): I need those goggles Nyx keeps talking about
[19:00] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): I've thought about getting those. Silver has them, and another friend of mine has them too. I don't know how well they'd work with my glasses though.
[19:00] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): The orobourus
river running through the land
gives peace to my mind
[19:00] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): I like that one a lot
[19:01] Silver (kerry.giha): Standing Grain Grows. Warm Summer Field. Forever Distant Mountains.

[19:02] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): that was a haiku too :D
[19:02] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): Wow, it was!
[19:02] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): Water slips beneath
The wood gliding below a
Dancing aurora
[19:03] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): I like how that one sets up. It is all smoothness and light
[19:03] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): although what i'm getting is, a haiku is supposed to be about an experience, so I guess a haiku about writing haiku is too abstract
[19:03] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): but it's still an experience
[19:03] Nop (kyomuno.tsuki) is offline.
[19:04] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): a man writes haiku

[19:04] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): woops
[19:04] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): and they're all good but he doesn't think so
[19:04] Silver (kerry.giha): Playing on Roof. One Kitten Fell. Mew too low.

[19:07] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): There is a type of meter to it, but it is not anything like I am used to
[19:08] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): There's another type of japanese poetry that is similar, but I'm still trying to remember what it was called
[19:08] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): it's been driving me nuts since the first session x.x

[19:10] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): The taco of dreams
now sits within your belly
savour its goodness
[19:10] Phoenix Fire (phoenix2488): Alien objects. Tearing through the midnight sky. Where light always treads.
[19:11] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): Nice ending on that one
[19:11] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): Tacos are yummy.
Then they attack digestion.
At least it isn't beans.
[19:12] Phoenix Fire (phoenix2488): lol
[19:12] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): Hahaha
[19:12] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): lol
[19:12] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): don't you put beans on a taco?
[19:12] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): I do! Kids don't.
[19:12] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): lol
[19:12] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): I do these days. I do not eat meat as much anymore so beans work well
[19:12] Phoenix Fire (phoenix2488): always good on one
[19:13] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): I prefer the tostada shape though
[19:13] Silver (kerry.giha): I just do burritos mostly anymore. Not to many places have veggie tacos.
[19:13] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): The kids' ex-step-grandma (all these relations..hm...) scrambles tofu with taco seasoning for her tacos
[19:14] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): You can put a big slab of tomato on a tostada shell
[19:14] Silver (kerry.giha): That is a good idea
[19:14] Phoenix Fire (phoenix2488): sounds delicious
[19:14] Pixel Prism (quinnigma) is online.
[19:14] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): Tofu is so versatile
[19:14] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): that does sound good. the cat would steal my tomato though if I'm not careful.
[19:14] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): Your cat???
[19:14] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): yes
[19:14] Phoenix Fire (phoenix2488) whispers: hehe
[19:15] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): That is a weird cat
[19:15] Silver (kerry.giha): It is the tabula rasa of noms
[19:15] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): Lightning has stolen tomatoes, corn, watermelon... he's stolen tomatos from construction workers... talked them OUT of their sandwiches...
[19:15] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): My cat eats only cat food and critters it catches
[19:15] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): It catches a LOT of critters
[19:15] Silver (kerry.giha): I thought he just lets them all go in your house.
[19:16] Phoenix Fire (phoenix2488): well, at least your cat is diverse in his meals
[19:16] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): I put a stop to that
[19:16] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): I removed the cat door
[19:16] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): that fixes it
[19:16] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): your cat goes out to rob from construction workers?
[19:16] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): lol
[19:16] Silver (kerry.giha): Aw. where are you going to get your crows now?
[19:16] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): he kept sneaking out the summer the apartments were getting rennovated
[19:16] Petea Copine (persontheadjective): anti-union cat or something
[19:17] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): Answer me this. Why was the crow crap bright green?
[19:17] Phoenix Fire (phoenix2488): sneaky thing
[19:17] Silver (kerry.giha): Eating lightning bugs
[19:17] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): LOL
[19:18] Silver (kerry.giha): plus birds convert urine all the way to uric acid which makes it much thicker.
[19:18] Silver (kerry.giha): An adaptation for flight so they don't have to carry as much water as mammals
[19:19] Morgan Freepony (illya.leonov): yeah they only have the one waste exit, right?
[19:19] Silver (kerry.giha): I believe so
[19:19] Amehana Arashi (amehana.ishtari): The crow crap went splat
On the hot hooded rig. Great..
Off to the carwash.
